The good and bad of travel-the monster who reclined his seat all the way and Wasn’t Even Sleeping. The kind woman who waited until I woke up to get out of her seat. No lounge in Frankfurt. Lovely manicurist and massage chair. The #Nairobi sun.

Yay! I never cross the street without pausing to ensure a car is not speeding through a red light to turn right. Too many close calls. #DCPedestrian

You don't need to understand her words to see the anguish in this mother's face.
Quote Tweet
The pain & desperation of this mother in #Tigray is beyond heartbreaking. It makes me cry. Civilians must always be protected and provided the care, medicines & food they need. The siege must end & humanitarian aid allowed in, including fuel, banking & telecommunication services.

18.5 hours is my longest flight. About half way through, it will feel interminable. 15 hours in, it will feel like it will never end. When it's over, it will feel like a miracle that you can get so far so fast. #FlightAware #Traveller cnn.com/travel/article
A must see! Globally, 300k women die due to pregnancy related causes, mostly Black women in America & Africa. 20x more suffer sometimes life-long, debilitating injuries. Most of these deaths are preventable. Black women's lives matter. #globalhealth #SDG3

On my way home from four weeks in Kenya meeting with colleagues, discussing strategy and collaborating on a technical proposal. So good to see and engage with folks in person (safely) again! Assante Sana #Nairobi
